    "In their first successful joint commercial venture, Incyte and SGI have jointly installed a Linux-based bioinformatics system at Bristol-Myers Squibb, SGI announced Tuesday.

    Bristol-Myers Squibb is the first customer to sign up for the Incyte-SGI system, which links Incyte's Linux cluster with an SGI Origin 2000 server. The pharmaceutical giant will use the system for gene and protein sequence analysis, transcriptional profiling, and proteomics.

    Incyte decided to market this cluster, which it initially developed as a "Linux farm" of about 3,000 Linux CPUs for its own mammoth sequence and analysis database, when other companies began to ask for it, said Stu Jackson, Incyte's director of bioinformatics. "What our software provides is a simple and convenient mechanism for farming a large number of jobs to a group of machines," he said.
